A definition of "kill" is "to commit murder."In the 17th century, that may have been the primary meaning, which is why the King James Bible says "Thou shalt not kill." In the 21st century, that surely is not the primary or ordinary meaning of the word. Still, calling someone a "child killer" at least implies that he deliberately sought to kill a child, rather than that he did so because he believed he had no other way to preserve his own life. But technically, Zimmerman did kill a legal "child", so calling him a "child killer" is not totally false, just misleading. |
